Bumper Plugs - Fill those number plate holes! - Possible UK Group buy
Hi All,
So I hate having the front plate mounted slap bang in the middle of my bumper on my BMW and I also hate that my dealer decided to drill straight into
the bumper and then fit it with self tapping screws 
The only solution I could come up with was to get a body shop to fill the holes and spray the bumper, quite expensive and time consuming!
Then I stumbled across these guys:
http://www.bumperplugs.com/
They make a small plug, sprayed to the colour of your car with apparently a 19 stage finish, which just goes in the hole and makes it look stock.
I was planning to order some (they're $27.95) but it's another $27.95 to ship them to the uk!
SO, I messaged them and they said if I can come up with a group order it'll be $27.95 to ship combined them regardless of how many orders I can
get. This way we can split the shipping cost into much more manageable chunks.
If we get 5 orders or more then they'll knock 10% off the price as well
Anybody interested? Post up below if you are, if we get a couple of people I'll message them back to set it up.
Cheers!
Adam

why not just get some plastic screw caps and a touch up pen or spray can. Much cheaper
Also don't see the need to move my number plate from its designed position. Looks like a boy racers been at it

I can imagine it being a bit frustrating on something like a Beemer to have stray holes drilled, but to be honest if they're anything like
this;
I'm not overly convinced they're worth the money? For that price I would expect invisible.
Don't BMW themselves do colour coded screw covers?
And I'm still trying to figure out what 19 stages there would be!! I think even Chipsaway don't have that many stages?

I think I would go for some sort of vinyl black stripe around the bumper if it was me, or silver if the car has an other silver trim.
I suppose it depends on the car colour though.

Its a shame they don't make them a lot bigger, to cover a BMW entirely
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at

Can only see a use for these in the states where front plates arent compulsory.

I have a cheaper solution. Leave the plate where it's supposed to be and you can't see the holes.
